When you need something in a hurry that will boost your calorie count, protein and fiber for the day, here is something that you can throw together and it's ready in an hour. Tip: Keep a can of cannelini beans and a can of tuna in the fridge, and it can be ready to eat right away. This is delicious the next day and the day after that, as well. The dressing is just the right amount for flavoring without obliterating the individual tastes.

Here is a filling salad for lunch or dinner that will also help use some of those veggies from your garden. It has a wide assortment of nutrients and vitamins (especially B and C), fiber and protein. I have converted my own recipe to ingredients more acceptable for Sparks people, but some of you may want to look for an Italian-type fat-free dressing with a lower sodium content. I would welcome any thoughts on this.

Usually these are made with rice paper and vermicelli, but this is just as tasty plus it's low carb.

This recipe is part of "The SparkPeople Cookbook." Order your copy today! This salad is even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so we love to make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.

A very delicious variation on chicken salad. Using Dijon and honey in the dressing make the difference. It's great to make a whole batch and just eat on it all week. Super crunchy, super good, you'll want to serve this at all your brunches and lunches.

This carrot raisin salad seems plain but it's actually very good and filling!

Submitted by LACILEIGH

Chop garlic very fine.

Add dijon to the garlic and whisk in the olive oil.
Add the juice of a lemon and whisk again.
Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk until an emulsion has occurred.

Asian vinaigrette: Substitute sesame oil (decrease to 1 T) for the Olive oil and soy sauce for the lemon. Use Rice vinegar instead of balsamic and add grated fresh ginger.

You can change the flavor by experimenting with different oils (I love walnut, unrefined peanut and avocado oil) and different acidic bases (lemon juice, different vinegars, grapefruit juice, etc) and omitting garlic to tone down the flavor as well. Be creative in your approach to the flavor and use the best ingredients you can afford.
